In order to swing theinner frame so that the tines 128-are carriedinwardly toward the main frame 10 when the. tilting frame is carried tothe tilting position I lave providedtthe following mechanism 139indicates a let er secured to the end of the rocking shaft 123. '140indicates a lug provided with a stem 141, whichis-swiveled the armf122(see Fi "10.). The lug 14; 1s provided with an ori es 142. 1.43indicates'a rod extending at one end through the orifice 142 andprovided at its opposite end with affork 144 into which one arm 139* ofthe lever 13.9 extends, being pivotally secured therein b a pin 14,5 146indicates a rocking rod a so journaled in the brackets 131 and in a suplemental bracket plate 147 carried by the lti tin frame. 148 indicatesan arm carried by t e end of the rocking rod 146 and adjacent to thebracket plate 14?. 149 indicates alink pivotal ly connected at one endtothe lower end of the arm 148 and at the pp'osite end to the arm 139 ofthe lever139.

153 indicates a bracket plate carried by the main frame and dependingbelow the same. 154 indicates a swinging member provided with a lug 155,which is pi votally secured to the bracket plate 153 by a. rivet or bolt156. The outer end of the swinging member 15 1 is provided with a fork157, the upper member 157 of which passes normally through the slot ofthe member 116. the lower member of the fork projecting beyond the uppermember for a purpose which will. hereinafter appear. The opposite end ofthe member 154 is provided with a. fork 158. 159 indicates a curvedlink, which is connected at its lower end. in the fork 1,58 and providedat its upper end with a hook 159 with which the lower end of the spiralspring 160 engages. The upper end of the spring 160 is connected by ahook 161 to a suitable portion of. the main frame 10. It will thus beseen that when the tilt ing frame swings upwardly to the tiltingposition thebar 102 is held stationary by reason ofits engagement withthe fork 157 thereby. holding the corresponding end of the compressormember from rising during the upward movement of the corresponding endof the tilting frame. 'This operation continues until the pressure onthe shock is sufiicient to overcome the. tension of the spring 160thereby allowing the forked end member 134- to be swung upward andthereby freeing the tilting frame to travel to its final tiltingposition.

In order to lock the compressor member in the compressing position asthe tilting frame is carried upward. the bar 102 being held stationaryas above described, the spring dog 112 engages the teeth of the rack 108thereby-locking the compressor member in the compressed position. Inorder to releasethe compressor member after the depositing of a shock Ihave provided the following mechanism:

lfiluindicates a bar secured to the vertical portion 15 of the tiltingframe, the lower end of such bar being out-turned at 162 to form abearing lug 163. The upper end of the bar 161 is curved so as to providea horizontal spring extension 163 provided with a longitudinal slot 164through which a bolt 165 extends to. secure the spring bar to the upperextension 18 of the tilting frame. Between the bearing lug 163 and thevertical portion 15 of the tilting frame is pivotally mounted upon a pin166 a cam member 167, the major radius formed by the portion 168extending upwardly in the normal positionand an extension 169 extendingharia nt y the cam and on which a finger 170 forming from below thepivot point of part of the dog 112 rests when the parts are in theirnormal position. 171 indicates a finger extending outwardly from theopposite side of the cam and at right angles thereto. 172 indicates abracket carried by the vertical portion 10 of the main frame 10 and inwhich is pivoted a spring held detent 1.73, the lower edge of which iscurved upwardly and extends across the path of the finger 171 when thetilting frame is carried to the tilting position. By this means when thetilting frame is swung upward the detent 173 is carried upward by thefin er 171 so as to allow the finger to pass. when, however, themovement of the tilting frame is reversed the finger 171 engages theupper end of the detent which is held rigid in its bearing bracket and,therefore, turns the cam 167 so that the major radius 168 is carriedinto contact with the finger 170 thereby forcing the dog 112 outwardlyout of engagement with the ratchet rack 108. In order to carry the camback to its normal position, when all the parts finally assume theirnormal position, the projection 117 engages the lower peripheral portionof the cam 169 thereby forcing the cam in the reverse direction back toits normal position.

175 indicates a series of upper tines, which are carried by the parallelbars 99 and 99' of the compressor member 99.

In order to prevent the feeding of the sheaves from the binder deckduring the upending and depositing of a shock I have provided thefollowing mechanism.

176 indicates an arm secured to the shaft 23 and provided with a forkedlower end 177. 178 and 178 indicate opposing channel members dependingfrom the main frame 10 at each side of the shaft 23, the open sides ofthe channels opposing each other. 179 indicates a broad U-shaped barmemher, the vertical portions 179 and 179 thereof slidably fittingwithin the opposing channel members 178 and 178".

180 indicates a link connecting the horizontal portion of the U-shapedmember 179 with the forked end 177 of the arm176. It will thus be seenthat when the shaft 23 is rocked the arm 176 is rocked in order tooperate the mechanism to deposit the sheaf. The arm 176 is carriedupward thereby drawing upon the link 180 and carrying the bar portions179 and 179 upward so as to form an obstruction to the passage of asheaf from the binder deck on to the tines 128.

Referring to Figs. 1 and 2, 181 indicates an inclined shaft carried insuitable bearings carried by the binder. The lower end of the shaft 181is connected by a universal joint connection 182 to the shaft 50. y The.upper end is provided with a bevel gear 183. 184 indicates ashaftextending at right. angles to the shaft 181 and journaled in journaledsuitable bearings and provided atone end with a bevel gear 185 meshingwith the bevel. ear 183 and at the opposite end with a have gear 186.187 indicates a short shaft in suitable bearings in proximity to thefoot board on which the seat 5 is carried. One end of the shaft 187 isprovided with a: bevel gear 188 meshing with the ear 186 andthe'opposite end with a double foot lever 189 whereby the shaft 187 maybe rocked by the foot of the operator in either direction.

190 indicates a deck extension extending from the deck of the binder andover my mechanism into proximity to the main frame 10, the deckextension being provided with slots 191 and 192 indicated by dottedlines in Fig. 2, through which the packer members 61 pass when packingthe sheaves into the stooker.

Having described the principal parts involved in my invention 1 willbriefly describe theoperation of the same.

The sheaves are fed from the binder over the binder deck in the usualmanner and thrown by the discharge fingers 4 through the'main frame 10to between the tines 175 and128. It will be understood, of course, thatthe shaft 26 is continuously driven from the driving mechanism of thebinder and during the feeding of the sheaves to between the tines 175and 128 the operator depresses the portion of the foot lever 139adjacent to the seat so as to revolve the shafts 184C in the directionindicated by arrow (see Fig. 2) and thereby carrying the arm 52 in thedirection indicated by arrow (see Fig. 3) thereby forcing the shoulder5%" against the outer face of the disk -18, forcing such disklongitudinally upon the shaft 26 against the pressure of the spring 49*to carry the faces of the clutch members 48 and 47 into engagement. Bythis means a driving connection is formed between the shaft 26 and thedisk 48. The disk then starts to revolve pulling upon the-pitinan 58 andthereby rocking the shaft 56in. the direction of arrow (see Fig. 3). Bythis means the arms 67 are carried upward in the direction of arrow (seeFig. 13) carrying the packer members formed by the triangular member 63and double arms 61 into the-position shown by dotted lines in Fig. 13and against the fed sheaves so as to force them completely into the required position between the tines 128 and 175. This operation isaccomplished during the first half revolution of the disk 48. During therest of the revolution of the disk the pitman 58 is carried in thereverse direc tion so that the packer mechanisms are carried from theposition shown by dotted lines in Fig. 13 back to the full or normalposition. Upon the completion of the revolution of the disk 48 the notch4C9'is carried opposite the shoulder 54* and the pressure of the footupon the foot lever 189 carries such shoulder through the-notch andsimul taneously the pressure of the spring 49 carries the disk 48 in thereverse direction to separate the faces of the clutch members 18 and i7thereby throwing the packing mechanism out of operation.

Simultaneously by the above described longitudinal movement of the rod54 the gear pinion 33 is carried into engagement with the gear 24. B thereviou'sly described movement of t e rock1ngrod50 the links 75 arecarried upward by the arms 71 so that the lower ends of the slot 76 arebrought into contact with the bolt 77. By the further rocking movementof the rod 50 occurring simultaneously with the passage of the shoulder54* through the notch 49 the links 75 are given a further upwardmovement thereby tilting the bell crank 7% on its pivot and forcing thesliding member 94 longitudinally in the direction of arrow (see Fig. 3)to carry the inclined portion 96 thereof past the shoulder 88 therebyfreeing the swinging member 86 which is swung upwardly by thecompression spring 90 carrying the roller 91 from beneath the horizontalupper extension 18 of the swing ing frame thereby allowing such portionof the tilting frame todrop from the position shown in full lines inFig. 9 to the position shown by dotted lines, such portion of thetilting frame being forced down against the sheaves by the pressure ofthe spring bar 163.

Simultaneously as has been before described the bevel pinion 33 iscarried into engagement with the gear 24 thereby roeating the gear inthe direction of arrow (see Fig. 3) and rocking the shaft 23 in acorresponding direction. By this movement two operations aresimultaneously performed, that is to say, the bar members 179 and 179are carried upward to prevent further feeding of the sheaves into thestooker and the swinging frame 13 is swung upward to carry the shocktoward the delivery position.

By the roc ing of the shaft 23 the bar portions 179' and 179 are carriedvertically upward as has-been previously described and thereby form anobstruction to the further passage of sheaves.

I will now describe the operation of the delivery of a shock.
